Well, I kind of did it once. I worked a station at the corner of 4 grid
squares in the Microwave Sprint a few months ago. I then moved into
another of the grids and we did it again. I then stayed put and tried to
work as many others as I could while the other station took off north. I
never worked him again in that contest. I don't think either of us came
anywhere near winning the Sprint because of that little experiment.
I'm not really set up to rove, as it takes me almost an hour to set up my
station as it is now. As I've now found what I think is the best site
in my area for hilltopping (EN50rl - nowhere near a grid corner) I'll
probably be using that most of the time from now on.
